Specific embodiments
[0046] The present invention provides a stalk shift - type electronic shifter. The switching of R / N / D gears is realized by operating the stalk shift handle, and the operation of the P gear is realized by the P - gear button at the end of the stalk shift handle. At the same time, the embodiments of the present invention also provide a shifting system. The stalk shift - type electronic shifter converts the shifting action into an electrical signal and outputs it to the vehicle controller. The vehicle controller provides a working voltage for the stalk shift - type electronic shifter and collects and processes the electrical signals sent by the stalk shift - type electronic shifter. At the same time, the circuits corresponding to P / R / N / D gears all adopt redundant design to improve the functional safety of the vehicle.
[0047] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the embodiments of the present invention provide a five - point single - stable stalk shift - type electronic shifter, which includes a housing assembly, a stalk shift operating assembly, a P - gear button assembly, and a main PCB board. Among them, the R\N\D gears are realized by operating the stalk shift operating assembly, and the P gear is realized by pressing the P - gear button assembly.
[0048] As Figure 1 , the housing assembly is composed of an upper housing 1, a middle housing 7, and a lower housing 9 arranged in sequence. The upper housing 1 and the middle housing 7 are connected and fixed through two snap - fit structures and two threaded connections. The upper housing 1 and the middle housing 7 each have blind holes for assembling the metal pin 10, and the blind holes arranged on the upper housing 1 and the middle housing 7 are symmetrically arranged. In addition, the lower housing 9 and the middle housing 7 are fixed through four snap - fit structures. The middle housing 7 provides installation and positioning for the main PCB board 8, and the lower housing 9 is used to press and fix the main PCB board 8 on the middle housing 7. The upper housing 1 and the middle housing 7 jointly enclose a cavity, and an opening communicating with the cavity is provided on one side of the upper housing 1 and the middle housing 7.
[0049] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4, the steering column-mounted shift control assembly includes a steering column-mounted shift lever 5, a spring 4, a gear position pin 3, a track body 2, a metal pin 10, and a light shield 6. One end of the steering column-mounted shift lever 5 passes through the opening formed by the upper housing 1 and the middle housing 7 and extends into the cavity. A blind hole is provided at the end of the steering column-mounted shift lever 5 for installing the spring 4 and the gear position pin 3. The track body 2 is fixed on the side wall of the middle housing 7 and is arranged facing the gear position pin 3. Five V-shaped gear position grooves are provided on the side wall of the track body 2 facing the gear position pin 3 (these 5 V-shaped gear position grooves can limit the moving stroke of the steering column-mounted shift lever 5), and ensure that the gear position pin 3 does not stop in a certain V-shaped gear position groove, ensuring that the steering column-mounted shift lever 5 can self-return to the initial position. The five V-shaped gear position grooves respectively correspond to the upper second stage, upper first stage, initial position, lower first stage, and lower second stage positions of the operating stroke of the steering column-mounted electronic shifter. The metal pin 10 is in interference fit with the steering column-mounted shift lever 5 and serves as the rotation axis for the steering column-mounted shift lever 5 to rotate relative to the housing assembly. When the driver operates the steering column-mounted shift lever 5 for shifting, the gear position pin 3 slides on the surface of the track body 2 facing the gear position pin 3, and at the same time also slides axially along the blind hole of the steering column-mounted shift lever 5. The gear position pin 3 compresses the spring 4 to provide the shifting force. The above structure determines the operating performance parameters of the steering column-mounted electronic shifter. The light shield 6 is clamped to the lower side of the steering column-mounted shift lever 5. The light shield 6 is arranged facing the main PCB board 8, and four baffles are provided on the light shield 6. When the steering column-mounted shift lever 5 is operated, the light shield 6 rotates with the steering column-mounted shift lever 5, and the four blocks of the light shield 6 then cut the infrared rays between the emitter and receiver of the main dual-channel grating sensor 17 and the redundant dual-channel grating sensor 18, causing the main dual-channel grating sensor 17 and the redundant dual-channel grating sensor 18 to generate voltage changes, converting the driver's shifting action into an electrical signal. The vehicle controller judges the driver's shifting intention based on the level change and change timing of the received signal.
[0050] Refer to Figure 5 , the P - gear button assembly consists of an FPC board 11, a P - gear button 13, a handle core 14, a conductive rubber 12, and a decorative ring 15. The guiding ribs provided on the outer wall of the P - gear button 13 slide along the guiding grooves provided on the inner wall of the handle core 14. The boss provided on the inner wall of the handle core 14 limits the downward stroke of the P - gear button 13, and the protrusion provided on the inner wall of the handle core 14 limits the upward stroke of the P - gear button 13. The core electrical components of the FPC board 11 are two gold fingers. The conductive rubber 12 can control the on - off of the gold fingers, thereby realizing the on - off of the P - gear circuit on the FPC board 11. The P - gear button 13 transfers the force of pressing the P - gear button 13 to the conductive rubber 12. After the conductive rubber 12 deforms, the conductive particles on its lower surface will conduct the gold fingers on the FPC board 11, thereby realizing the conduction of the P - gear circuit on the FPC board 11. The FPC board 11 then sends a P - gear signal request to the vehicle controller. When the P - gear button 13 is released, the P - gear button 13 resets under the action of the resilience of the conductive rubber 12.
[0051] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 Figure 7 , the core electrical components of the main PCB board 8 are two dual-channel grating sensors. The function of the dual-channel grating sensors is to convert the driver's gear-shifting action into a level signal. One of the dual-channel grating sensors plays a major role, and the other dual-channel grating sensor plays a redundant role to ensure that the R / N / D gears meet the functional safety ASIL B.
[0052] For the vehicle controller, the P gear request signal received from the FBC board 11 and the level change signal received from the main PCB board 8 only reflect the driver's gear-shifting intention. Whether the vehicle switches gears also requires the vehicle controller to make a comprehensive determination by combining signals such as the gear-shifting signal, the vehicle speed signal, the door signal, and the brake signal.
[0053] In the embodiment of the present invention, taking the main dual-channel grating sensor as an example, the gear detection principle of the above-mentioned steering-column-mounted electronic shifter is described as follows:
[0054] When the steering-column-mounted shifter handle 5 is manipulated, the four blocks on the light-shielding plate 6 cut the infrared rays between the emitter and the receiver of the main dual-channel grating sensor 17, thereby causing changes in the corresponding levels of CHANNEL1 and CHANNEL2 of the main dual-channel grating sensor 17. Specifically:
[0055] When the steering-column-mounted shifter handle 5 is in the initial position, both CHANNEL1 and CHANNEL2 of the main dual-channel grating sensor 17 are at a low level;
[0056] When the steering-column-mounted shifter handle 5 is switched from the initial position to the previous gear, the corresponding line level changes of CHANNEL1 and CHANNEL2 of the main dual-channel grating sensor 17 are: low level - high level - low level, but the level change of CHANNEL1 is earlier than that of CHANNEL2; the vehicle controller does not respond to the level change when the handle returns;
[0057] When the steering-column-mounted shifter handle 5 is switched from the initial position to the second previous gear, the corresponding line level changes of CHANNEL1 and CHANNEL2 of the main dual-channel grating sensor 17 are: low level - high level - low level - high level - low level, but the level change of CHANNEL1 is earlier than that of CHANNEL2; the vehicle controller does not respond to the level change when the handle returns;
[0058] When the steering-column-mounted shifter handle is switched from the initial position to the next gear, the corresponding line level changes of CHANNEL1 and CHANNEL2 of the main dual-channel grating sensor 17 are: low level - high level - low level, but the level change of CHANNEL1 is later than that of CHANNEL2; the vehicle controller does not respond to the level change when the handle returns;
[0059] When the shift-by-wire handle 5 is switched from the initial position to the second lower gear, the corresponding line levels of CHANNEL1 and CHANNEL2 of the main dual-channel grating sensor 17 change as follows: low level - high level - low level - high level - low level, but the level change of CHANNEL1 lags behind that of CHANNEL2; the vehicle controller does not respond to the level change during the return stroke of the handle.
[0060] In summary, the vehicle controller can determine the operation of the shift-by-wire handle 5, that is, the driver's shifting intention, by collecting the voltage changes and change timing in the level change signals output by CHANNEL1 and CHANNEL2 of the main dual-channel grating sensor 17. CHANNEL3 and CHANNEL4 in the redundant dual-channel grating sensor 08 are used as redundant signals to improve the reliability and safety of the shifting system.
[0061] Refer to Figure 8 , the architecture of traditional electronic shifting includes a shift-by-wire switch assembly, a wiring harness, and a vehicle controller. The shift-by-wire switch assembly consists of a power supply module, a signal acquisition module, a button module, an MCU, an LED module, and a CAN transceiver. The shift-by-wire switch assembly and the vehicle controller communicate with each other through CAN.
[0062] Refer to Figure 9, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a shift system architecture, which consists of a steering column-mounted electronic shifter, a vehicle controller, and a wiring harness. The vehicle controller provides power supply 1 to the steering column-mounted electronic shifter and collects the CHANNE1 (output channel 1) and CHANNEL2 (output channel 2) signals emitted by the main dual-channel grating sensor 17, and realizes the main dual-channel grating circuit loop through GDN1 (I / O signal). At the same time, the vehicle controller provides power supply 2 to the steering column-mounted electronic shifter and collects the CHANNE3 (output channel 3) and CHANNEL4 (output channel 4) signals emitted by the redundant dual-channel grating sensor 18, and realizes the redundant dual-channel grating circuit loop through GDN2 (I / O signal) of the vehicle controller. The above-mentioned main / redundant dual-channel grating sensors are used for the switching of R / N / D gears. Due to the redundant design, the R / N / D gears can meet the ASIL B functional safety target. In addition, the FPC board 11 of the steering column-mounted electronic shifter sends two groups of P gear signals to the vehicle controller. The vehicle controller collects the analog signals of the P gear circuit and forms the P gear circuit loop through GND3 (analog signal). When a failure occurs in the electrical components of the P gear circuit, the specific voltage value output by the P gear circuit will change. For example, when a short circuit or open circuit occurs in the resistor in the P gear circuit, the voltage value output by the P gear circuit is different. The vehicle controller collects the analog signals of the P gear circuit, that is, the vehicle controller collects the specific voltage value output by the P gear circuit. The vehicle controller can judge what kind of failure has occurred in the P gear circuit according to the collected specific voltage value, and thus can achieve the ASIL C functional safety target of the P gear.
[0063] The steering column-mounted electronic shifter provided by the embodiment of the present invention has the advantages of extremely low cost, simple and reliable structure. A shift system provided by the present invention can not only reduce the cost of electrical components of the steering column-mounted electronic shifter, but also directly save the software development cost and functional safety development cost of the steering column-mounted electronic shifter. In particular, the R / N / D gears can achieve the ASIL B functional safety target, and the P gear can achieve the ASIL C functional safety target.
